Beyond Jira: The Wall of Work

Beyond Jira: The Wall of Work

Apr 23, 2019

Over the past few years, Optimizely grew from a single-product company built by a handful of engineers and designers to a multi-product company built by many teams. But, its development processes didn't adapt fast enough to keep up with growth. Engineers had too many dependencies in flight, designers were added too late in the process to be effective, and the highest value work wasn't properly prioritized.

Hear how one startup moved from chaos to scrum and beyond by implementing Enterprise Service Planning (ESP) and the seven kanban cadences, and by creating a fifty foot wall of work. The result: increasing overall velocity while decreasing time to customer value across multiple products.
